Thank you. But as you said there were three different endings and we do not know which or if any one of them is canon.

There are three endings, but this one is the only one that reasonably explains why the Alliance are not producing their own vessels. The bombing of New Rossyth shipyard is another possible explanation, but that one seem a little thin after 45 years.
It is a bit of a shame that the (at the moment) the various goings on in PP don't seem to have any real bearing on any of the background storylines. I can already hear the arguments why: not everyone cares about PP, and it is player driven, but that last point itself could be held up as why it should have an impact. Given that right now in PP land the Federation has declared war on the Alliance the Alliance, in the scenario you outline could say 'to hell with your treaties and start producing there own ships. And before anyone jumps in with the no ranks thing, the Alliance has 6 admirals. There may not be standing fleets and formal navies like the Feds and Imps, but all systems contribute militia ships to quickly form Alliance Fleets, under the command on one or more of those Admirals, when are where they are needed. Thus there is a perfect reason to have Alliance ranks. It would just be like the UK Reserves (formally the Territorial Army).
This makes the meeting between Halsey and Mahon before the accident even more interesting. What if Mahon was trying to negotiate a relaxing of the treaties? Halsey seems more likely to be persuaded than Hudson or Patreus.
The search for RAXXLA, extended edition!
The new Halsey, the Navigator:
So apparently Halsey as a gypsy leader will be our way of making a future first "friendly" contact with the alien race. Hm.
She will sing to the blue fireflies and make them dance new patterns. We will discover that their dance is their language and they will reveal they come from inside Merope's star. The UAs are their space ships and the Barnacles spikes are their stations.
Man I think there was something funny about those mushrooms I ate for breakfast...
I actually think it was the peace option that happened in FFE. The main reason I think this is because of something MB said in the Dev fiction diary #3, starting at around 2:27 he talks specifically about the Thargoids and says:
"And far from forgotten, in the far reaches of the galaxy, humanities old enemy the Thargoids remain. The fragile peace between the two races didn't last long, and far beyond the safety of the navy patrols, explorers still disappear without trace."
Here's a link to the video starting at about the right time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDurmITXzRM&feature=youtu.be&t=145
This is a direct quote from MB word for word. I underlined the word peace because it pretty much says it all. I've read through all of the FFE journals but I don't think I know them as well as you do Han Zen. However this to me seems pretty definitive as to which ending actually happened. As for the reason the peace between us failed there were even hints in the journals regarding that. I remember articles about them not liking the name Thagoids as they thought it was derogatory, also a few articles about a place in the empire selling Thargoid body parts. Plus all three major factions were building trading outpost specifically for trading with the Thargoids but I remember an article that talked about how we (humans) have pretty much nothing to offer them in exchange. And lets not forget good old human paranoia and resentment, and the fact that we have things like pirates in our space. I wouldn't be surprised if the Thargoids kept getting attacked from time to time. There is also the fact that all 3 of the major powers were trying to basically control access to the Thargoids and their tech so the Thargoids probably also got caught up in political dealings. I honestly would have been surprised if the Thargoids had not broken off the peace treaty with us. Anyways, those are my thoughts on the matter, and I mostly wanted to point out what MB said in that Dev fiction diary.
Fly safe cmdr's
This is fully possible. I have also been considering that the peace happened, but that the Mycoid mutated on it's own and rendered the vaccine useless. This would have forced the Thargoids to leave our sector.
Me too - but that is because there is non-indigenous ammonia lifeforms on Quy/Quinness on the Galmap, where the peace talks were held and where a Thargoid Embassy was established after the peace talks. People have been waiting for the Thargoids, but they are already here. And have been for a while.

Could the mycoid virus have evolved/developed sentience of some form? If it mutated in contact/combination with Thargoid organic ship material for example?

Apparently, George Fallside's name was used in a Freelance Report by a CMDR. (Thanks irongut for letting me know!)
I'm dropping all the charges against him, 'coz if we are allowed to impersonate him, this has to mean he is a minor character.
That's disappointing!

With the news of Halsey's release from the Clearwater Clinic I thought it time to bump this old thread again. So has she been cured of a bout of space madness, an affliction well known to explorers, or has she been brainwashed by shadowy figures?

There is only one person right now who needs to be afraid of Halsey's release: Felecia Winters.
Winters was Jasmina Halsey's Secretary of State. If Halsey returns to the political scene she could overshadow Winters and potentially push her out of Power Play by resuming leadership of the Federation's Liberal Party. Just the kind of kick in the pants the Winters' Power Play needs to reinvigorate itself after having lost so much ground after the 2.1 release.
Halsey could offer a different set of perks to Power Players that might help lure people over to her faction.
Halsey has made a public statement, interestingly she stated
So what did they discuss at their previous meeting just before the SS1 accident and why is she now relocating to Alliance space? Are the two related?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Edmond Mahone and other Alliance leaders that tasked the player with stealing the vaccine and delivering it to the Thargoids in the third game? If the cannon is that the vaccine was delivered to the Thargoids, then it would be reasonable that Mahone would seek peaceful relations with them. This is of course assuming that the coming alien race are Thargoids. As far as Halsey is concerned, she seems to be taking a peaceful route in seeking aliens as well. Hope all goes well.
